Khans pretty good all round really. I've found it really useful as a learning supplement for chemistry. I can't atest how it does history though.

How good are they for economics? I want to learn more about it. I know it's not really history, but never underestimate the breadth of & humanities

If you want something specific, i always recommend "History of the Byzantine state" by Ostrogorsky

Bumping for interest

I've never done one are
But I got the impression they were just memes for "history buffs" who watch history channel specials about ww2

That's bit the case though, no? They are legit?
>>
>>2668316
Yeah, Youtube promotion doesn't raise my hopes up, either

They're written and presented by legitimate professors from some very well respected universities. I'd say they're only slightly less rigorous than a standard undergraduate semester length module on a corresponding subject. I tend to just listen and try and absorb the information but you could easily treat it like a proper course by following the supplementary readings, etc.

Obviously because of the variation in professors the quality of the content and presentation thus varies from course to course, but if you want to sample some of the better ones (not that I've done a truly duff one at all), then I can recommend Kenneth W. Harls' courses. He's a specialist in Byzantine history but both his Crusades and Viking lecture series are fantastic in-depth courses.

I remember using a cd by The Teaching Company for some of my supplemental reading during high school. I think the CD was called the great courses .
